The Yokohama Country & Athletic Club is a sport and recreational club located in Yamate, Yokohama Kanagawa Prefecture.

First founded in 1868 by Scottish cricketer James Pender Mollison (21 July 1844 – 22 November 1931) as the Yokohama Cricket Club. In 1884 members voted to merge the Yokohama Foot Ball Club (Rugby Union), Athletics, and Baseball clubs to form the Yokohama Cricket & Athletic Club (YC&AC). In 1912 the word 'Cricket' in the name of the club was changed to 'Country' giving the club the name it uses today.
